Striking for Their Pay.


BIDDEFoRD, Oct. 25.-There is fresh
trouble at Andrews g. Sons quarry on the
Pool road, arising, as all the preceding have,
from a lack of funds with which to pay the
men. 1t has come to be an old story for the
workmen to quit work when pay day comes
and goes and they do not get tie money due
them. As general thing these troubles
have not amounted to much, but have been
amicably settled after day or two, and it is
reasonable TO believe that this one will term
mate in the same way and a few days will
find all the men back at work again. Last
Thursday was the regularly fortnightly pay
day, but no money was forthcoming and the
men concluded to possess their souls in pa
tience until another day. Thus matters
went on until this morning, when a dozen or
fifteen of the quarrymen, about half of the
entire force, dropped their tools and left the
works, refusing to do anything more until
they should get what was due them. The
remainder of the quarrymen and all the
stonecutters continued to work, and de-
clined ty be influenced by those who quit.

Editor Inter- Occun-DEAR SIR: If
Ramsey countys fair is not Il success this
year it will not he because the farming
industries arc sighted in the list of
premiums. We belicve tho managers
have struck the true keynote to success
and ii our farmers do not turn out with
their products and compete for the differ
ont prizes offered they are unworthy Of
the splendid opportunities they enjoy in
this favored land. It has often boon
said. and truely too, that the average
county fair is not for tho farmer but for
the horse jockey and tho man that runs
the wheel of fortune, but now we have
offered us prizes for all sorts Of farm
produce and stock, and let us step for
ward and show our appreciation by TAX
ing our time for 4 day or two and attend
specimen ofour potatoes, bcots, turnips,
butter, or at least some article to COM
pete for prize. Possibly yours will DO
the very article that will take the prize
in that particular line, and if it is not it
will help to fill up the exhibit, making a
part Of the grand total of all successful
county fair and you will DO amply re-
warded for your effort in the contcmpla-
ton of the fact that you helped to make
the fair a success, to say nothing of the
useful information you will gain, and
tho pleasure Of mingling with your
brother farmers and hearing them tell
of their Successes and the splendid yield
of grain they had this year.

The Situation IN kansas.

Mr. and Mrs. l.. Council returned from
their Kansas trip last week full Of en-
thusiasm = for North Dakota. Mr..
Council says he never saw so much lazi-
ness to the square inch III his life. Tho
crops are very poor, but the people don't
seem to care. They lie about in the
MONDAY shade and permit the weeds to
smother the corn. The country is all
dried up-no streams or lakes to speak
Of The people have to dig $50 or 300 feet
for water but they don't seem to care for
that. When they get water it is warm
and unwholeso,ne, but the people don't
seem to care for that. In fact, Mr.. Coun.
Gil found just what the INTER-OcEAN
has been telling it's readers for several
years, viz: that the people who have
settled in Kansas were too lazy to come
to Dakota. They have just energy
enough to go to Kansas, and not enough
energy to stay where they came from.
But seriously, there is genuine hard
time in Kansas this year and we Of
prosperous and abundant North Dakota
| are truly sorry.
